3. Mr. Singhdev, who appears on advance notice, says that the elections to BCD are being held in accordance with the directions issued by the Supreme Court in Transfer Case (Civil) No.126/2015, titled Ajayinder Sangwan & Ors. vs. Bar Council of Delhi.

3.1 Learned counsel further informs me that a notice was taken out by BCD on 30.11.2017, whereby, objections were invited to the preliminary electoral roll published by it. It is further submitted that the final electoral roll was published on 15.01.2018, in consonance with the order dated 14.12.2017, and the earlier order dated 24.11.2017, passed by the Supreme Court. Learned counsel also says that the time table for holding the elections has been notified on 24.01.2018.

3.2 As per this notice, according to Mr. Singhdev, the elections are to be held on 16 and 17 March 2018.

3.3 In these circumstances, the learned counsel says that since the election process has commenced, no relief at this stage can be granted to the petitioner.

4. On the other hand, Ms. Sugandha says that the issue in the present petition is about inclusion of her name in the electoral list and not about correcting the electoral roll. It is emphasised by the petitioner that she has no objection qua the electoral roll already published by the BCD. The petitioner says that since she was required to pass AIBE and the result qua which was declared only on 09.03.2018, she could not have approached the Court at an earlier date.
